Tumbling Down Stairs

I wanted to try a
different kind of fold on this card and found a tutorial for an origami fold card on Splitcoast Stampers so thought I’d try it out.It creates a card and envelope in one that
neatly hides the treasures inside, you could even say it is a little bit
mysterious!

You don’t even
get to the heart of this card from the first part of opening it but, on my
version, you do get your second hint of what’s inside with another version of
the White Rabbit, this time a stamped one.I cropped this image out of the Clever Little Alice image, also from the
Alice in Wonderland Steampunk collection.

As you can from
the close-up picture above, I left the area around the image plain as I tried
out all manner of embellishments but nothing looked right and I realised that
was because I didn’t want anything calling attention away from the gorgeous
image.So instead I’ve embellished on
the panels around the image and carried the theme of the bow and White Rabbit
charm from the “envelope”.

With all my metal
embellishments I’m entering this in the current challenge at Robyn’s Fetish and
with my sparkly bows I’m also linking it up at the challenge at Paper Playtime.I’m also hoping that this is mysterious
enough to qualify for the current Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where I’m
also entering it.
